Dr Who?

Well, I can honestly say I am surprised. Nailed a game plan 100%. Well done SFC!

Same as the national league format. Except only 1 automatically go up!

I would presume they will not put out the first team either, as they are looking to qualify for Europe through the league.

This will be a very good test, but one I feel that will show the difference between us and the premier league teams. I fear our cup run will end here as predicted by many as soon as we come up against a premier league team. Just hope it is tight and they do not take us apart. Just watched their game this afternoon, and they are pretty handy!

I am not a great fan of OWTS song!

Was in the top tier today with the boy. It was my first visit to Hillsbrough since 1997 and a 0-0 draw. Think Paul Jones saved a penalty that day. The ground is looking in a terrible state, neglected like the whole club top to bottom. It was a strange one as the atmosphere was very flat, and the performance matched it. Seemed like we just expected the win, which showed in the celebration the little bit of the 3rd goal as there was more of an eruption due to the worry that was creeping in! We did what we needed to do and had the feeling of an end of season game or a pre season game. I do think we could have upped the tempo a little and in the first half it did remind me of the last time we were in the championship as it was very laboured. There was a lot of very good good football at times but the end product was just not there. We missed Stewart for sure today. None of the subs did anything and had negative impact of the game and our shape. For what the Wednesday fans have been through, those that were in the ground were great at the end of the first half and second half. Let’s face it they have nothing to sing about. Our fans were flat, turned up got the 3 points and went home. Very strange game and I think things will start to get a little tougher, but we still have lots of points to play for, but feel we are a little short of a serious play off side, but we will see.

I hope our fans stay classy, or at least do not give it the large one about Wednesday being relegated and gloat at them. They have really been through the shit with a completely awful owner! Yes we celebrate if we win, but let’s just enjoy what could be our last visit to Hillsborough for a long time.

‘That’ cup run. The first that I remember, of course the semi final, but also Armstrong against Blackburn, holding the magic sponge to his head. The other semi final Watford v Plymouth. To this day I believe if we had overcome Everton we would have won the cup that year. Remember the Wednesday game. I think the last time I was at Hillsborough was 0-0 as well in the mid 90’s.

I don’t think there has been any expectation on them for a while. They put their all into winning the Steel derby, but fell short, as this would have been very small consolation for what has been a horror of a season. They have slightly settled down and improved over the last few weeks, and by this I mean they have scored. If we do not win this it will be criminal. But nothing surprised me when I go to football. I have managed to see Cambridge lose their only game in 20 against few weeks ago away at Harrogate who were bottom and not won in 10 games at home… yep Harrogate won!

The championship is a little nuts, I think everyone but Sheffield Wednesdays and Oxford have had a good run, or a bad run followed by the opposite and then repeat. Some in the top 3 for a little more, but no one is setting the league on fire. My fear is that we are still 4 off the top 6 and we are due another dip. But so are Wrexham! 🤷🏽 Take nothing away… great win tonight, but after Saturday I feel it will get a little tougher for a few weeks.

WTF… don’t use up all the goals! I’m at Hillsborough with the boy on Saturday!

Even though there are many that are not consistent, we are at the top end of having another good run, let’s see if that continues at home to QPR, then we ‘should’ beat Wednesday… then I feel another dip is due which will put pay to this up and down optimism.

Lot of huff and puff and plenty of the ball, but lacking ideas and quality in front of goal (apart from the goal). Perhaps we should try it more often? Just void of ideas on how to break down a poor Charlton side.

If Derby, Wrexham and Bristol City lose tomorrow and Birmingham do not win by a bigger margin than us, we will be in the playoff places… madness!

He cannot help himself I’m afraid. He also reacted far to slowly and should have hooked some players and changed the shape much early, but fair play in the end, we got away with it with an amazing comeback, just in the nick of time, and you could feel the Leicester panic, just like we have felt so many times in the past!

Games against Leicester seem to have talking points in history, can we talk about this one for years rather than the 0-9. Oh and 7 different scorers! What a night. We certainly have a bit more spunk about us since the Skates away!

Match thread GOLD! 😂 😂 😂

Any manager with experience would have rang the changes, would have hooked players and changed the shape. I watch Cambridge United go 2 down in 20 minutes on Saturday at Harrote and Harris made changes and changed the shape… league 2. It also sends a message to those players and the others on the pitch, do your job or be replaced.

Tonda does make some random selections just to tinker. Not required young man! Stop over complicating things. It looks like it is done deliberately

Plenty of time. Not going to say what for, but plenty of time.

This fixture really does not do it for the masses. I do think we have a great chance of winning this, as they are all over the place.

Could be reading into this too much, but it seems like there is a togetherness. All going over to celebrate and congratulate each other. Not seen it much over the last 2 seasons. May not have been a pretty game, but another win and a clean sheet. 3 of the last 4 games, unheard of. I will say we are not playing anywhere near a team that will succeed in the playoffs, but that is why we still have quite a few teams between us and 6th. I will say the 6th spot will be the much weaker side compared to the rest. Let’s try and get their first, but something to aim for, but as I say way off!

For an early kick off, I would go around to the store for a bit and catch them on the way out. Will be about 3:00/3:15.

To right, one of the best moments of my Southampton supporting life, stood in the stands of Wembley with my son and wife. What goal, what a day!

Rumours are that AA was being disruptive in the changing room. Sounds weird 😂
